    3. Some of you are asking the question about the cemetery project. The cemetery project was started months and months ago as to add obituaries and pictures to the cemetery data bases that were being edited and updated to be placed on the three ILRoots websites. The Tri County Newsletter and it's volunteers took on the job as to updating and editing and asked that all pictures, obits and changes came to their site to be compiled, transcribed and worked on in general. The databases are completed, as much as one can update a cemetery, and are being posted to the websites, except for the Greene County site. Can not get a response from the webmaster, so they are being sent to ILMAGA site for Greene County. This is and will take time during the holidays so please be patient. Jersey County is posting every day. Calhoun will get their changes up shortly after Thanksgiving as will ILMAGA-Greene. Some are concerned that this information is being sold for profit by the Tri County Newsletter. This is so common when it comes to asking for donations to cover expenses. NO ONE Makes a dime! Just because it is on the internet and you pay your internet provider doesn't mean that there isn't costs involved. This is one reason the Tri County Folks are calling it quits, the other is Marty Crull's health problems have gotten worse and there seems to be no cause to think he will get better. He is only 55 and been at this for nearly 20 years. He is sending every thing he has accumulated over those years to the three sites. How do I know this? I am his daughter. Your help is needed and please pass the word this holiday about dad and all the work he has done and has tried to do. Thank you all and have a great holiday. And as dad always says, be safe and don't do something stupid and we read about it in the obituaries, this holiday season. Kathy Mae
